Homestead II Homeowners' Association

What Homestead II Homeowners' Association's governing documents say

Homestead II is a homeowners' association (HOA) for attached single-family homes (townhomes) with party walls in Phoenix, AZ. The document binds all lot owners and sets rules for use, maintenance, and assessments. This is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions.

• Residential use: Lots may be used only for single-family residential purposes. No business or trade may be conducted on a lot, though leasing to a single family is permitted subject to all other rules.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot. The initial maximum annual assessment is $240 per lot. After the first lot is sold to a purchaser, the board may increase it by the Consumer Price Index or by a two‑thirds vote of members for larger increases. Special assessments for capital improvements also require a two‑thirds vote. Unpaid assessments accrue interest at 12% per annum and may become a lien on the lot.
• Architectural review: Any exterior improvement, alteration, or change (including landscaping, fences, color schemes) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. If the committee fails to approve or disapprove within 45 days (or 24 days for applications), the request is deemed approved.
• Pets: Only a reasonable number of common house or yard pets are allowed; no commercial breeding. Pets must not create excessive noise or become a nuisance. Structures for pet confinement must not be visible from neighboring property.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is permitted but must comply with all declaration provisions. No specific minimum lease term is stated. The owner is responsible for ensuring tenants follow the rules.
• Parking & vehicles: No mobile home, motor home, trailer, truck over ¾‑ton, boat, or camper may be kept on a lot if visible from neighboring property, unless approved by the Architectural Committee. Temporary construction vehicles are excepted.
• Party walls: Walls on lot dividing lines are party walls. Adjoining owners share repair and maintenance costs proportionally. If a party wall is damaged, both owners must rebuild at joint expense. Disputes go to arbitration.
• Signs: Only one residential identification sign (max 36 sq. in.), one job‑identification sign during construction (max 48 sq. ft.), and one “for sale” or “for rent” sign (max 5 sq. ft.) are allowed per lot. Political and commercial signs are otherwise prohibited.
